Because, let's face it, whipping out a hoover and trawling through your house to suck up dust and debris is up there with emptying the dishwasher and hanging up the washing. Yes, you have to do it, and you begrudgingly go through the motions, but not without surfing the Chore Gods under your breath the entire time.

Thankfully we live in a world where technology is advanced enough to make our lives a lot easier, and the new iRobot Roomba 800 is the ideal elixir to cure your vacuuming ailments.

Its sole purpose in life is to clear you floors automatically for you, trundling around, whirring away merrily, gobbling up crumbs and savouring each and every second of cleanliness that it brings.

Its patent-pending cleaning system now removes up to 50% more dust by eradicating traditional bristle brushes and adopting AeroForce extractor technology instead.

Its five times more powerful than previous Roomba models too, and can hold up to 60% more dirt to boot.

With double the battery life of its predecessors and maintenance-free build, it'll soon become your best friend. Albeit one who actually cleans up around the place for once.
